Serial Numbers were just that: issued sequentially to each service member on induction.  In 1972, we changed to go with Social Security Account Numbers but kept the old Serial Numbers for use in overseas deployment.  In 1979, we dispensed with Serial Numbers completely.

There burns no hotter fire in hell than that reserved for cowards, home wreckers, and troublemakers. Be warned accordingly.
